In the early afternoon, on the couch in the house, two exhausted men were gasping for air. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a long time, the wheezing sound of the two people gradually calmed down, Cai Yan pillowed in the crook of Lu Ren's arm, and asked Lu Ren softly, "Yihao, what's wrong with you today?" All of a sudden, so crazy. ”

Lu Ren laughed a few times, and gently stroked Cai Yan's messy hair and said, "Yu'er was complaining to me before, saying that I had too little time to accompany you, so I hurried to accompany you." ”

Cai Yan stretched out his finger and twisted it lightly on Lu Ren's itchy flesh, and said with a smile: "After so many years, I still don't know what kind of temper you have?" You don't have time to spend with me because you are in a high position, and you have too many government affairs to deal with, and you don't go outside to spend all day drinking, what else should I blame you? ”

Lu Ren was happy: "My wife is wise, long live your understanding!" ”

Cai Yan glared at Lu Ren with disgust, then shook his head lightly and said, "You really don't have to worry about me." Although you don't usually have much time to spend with me, I am not alone with my four children. Besides, I'm also in charge of the task of editing dictionaries, and I still have a lot of things to do. ”

Lu Ren said: "Don't be tired...... By the way, what's going on with the dictionary? ”

Cai Yan said: "It's still a little worse." It's ridiculous to think about, when you asked me to edit the dictionary, I didn't think it would take much effort. But when I got my hands on it, I realized that this dictionary would not have been able to be edited without years of work. ”

Lu Renxin said nonsense! Which of the regular dictionaries of later generations did not take a lot of effort by many scholars to complete? Cai Yan thought that it would not be difficult at first, but Lu Ren made corresponding preparations, from borrowing people from Zheng Xuan at the beginning, to organizing students from the liberal arts department from Yizhou University to participate, Lu Ren may not have a lot of thoughts, but the money spent is not a small amount. In fact, Cai Yan is now mainly responsible for reviewing the dictionary, that is to say, the collection, annotation, and interpretation of words are actually carried out by a special person and a special group, otherwise it would be strange for Cai Yan to do it alone, and not to make Cai Yan tired.

Don't underestimate the dictionary, it's a very important part of Lu Ren's cultural expansion. Let's put it this way, if a civilization has words but no dictionary, it is as ridiculous as believing in Jesus but not having the Bible, let alone spreading it to the outside world. Perhaps it can also be said that the demise of many splendid civilizations in the world has a lot to do with their lack of dictionaries, because as the words of civilization and bricks, there is nothing to help pass them on.

But now is not the time to talk about this, when Lu Ren and Cai Yan mentioned the dictionary, they even remembered Zheng Xuan and Old Man Zheng, because Zheng Xuan also reviewed the editing of the dictionary with Cai Yan, so he immediately asked: "Old Man Zheng has been in good health recently?" I'm usually too busy to make the time to pay a visit. ”

Cai Yan said: "Mr. Kang Cheng is really old and strong, a man in his eighties, and he still works tirelessly every day. Yihao, since you have a rare time in the past two days, you might as well go and pay a visit. ”

Lu Renxin said I had to go. Lao Cao's claim is imminent, and I have to ask someone to write a scolding essay for Lao Cao. But it's still that sentence, that is, to scold and show Lu Ren's position. The business that should be done, Lu Ren will still do it with Lao Cao. In particular, Lao Cao's attack on Wu this time was in vain, and he will definitely further realize the importance of naval ships, and Lu Ren has a batch of semi-retired ships in his hands that he wants to sell......

————————————————————

What was the situation in the inland of the Central Plains at this time?

The struggle in the north is nothing more than a literary struggle in the officialdom, a political struggle between Lao Cao and some scholar groups. Although there is no sword and sword shadow on the battlefield, there is definitely a lot of blood shed. Lao Cao was actually just walking on the way back to the court at this time, but he was already thinking about who to cut off.

However, Lao Cao was also very depressed at this time, because of the matter of being a prince, he had lost Xun Yu and Xun Yu. Others may not know, but Lao Cao can't know how powerful these two Xun are? Especially after Xun Yu left, Lao Cao suddenly felt that there seemed to be no one behind him who could help him sit and watch the house.

In fact, it is. A careful review of the relevant historical records is not difficult to find that since Xun Yu's death, Lao Cao's military operations to the outside world have never dared to last too long, often the work is not completely done and the class teacher in a hurry to return to the court, the most typical example of which is that Lao Cao after the capture of Hanzhong, obviously can go to take Shu in one go, Liu Ye and Sima Yi also repeatedly persuaded Lao Cao This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, but Lao Cao came to a sentence of "Got Long, look back at Shuhu" and withdrew.

In this regard, Liu Bei's Fa Zheng pointed out that Lao Cao did not want to fight, but did not dare to fight, and the reason why he did not dare to fight was that "this is not his intelligence and lack of strength, and there will be worries in him", to put it bluntly, Lao Cao's nest has no one to help Lao Cao Town, so Lao Cao did not dare to work for too long when he was using troops outside. And when Xun Yu was still here, Lao Cao never worried about this kind of thing.

Of course, the role of Xun Yu cannot be exaggerated too much on this issue, and there are many other reasons why Lao Cao will form such a situation. But no matter what, Lao Cao is depressed now, but it can't be faked.

Here in Jingzhou, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu also had a lot of fun. It's just that these two are smart people, and there is also a Lu Ren who is sandwiched between the two sides to play a little trick, so Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu will not come to Ming, but you are behind your back, I will pit you and see who shows the flaws first.

And the situation of these two is like playing chess, a move between real masters, and any of the opponent's chess pieces cannot be eaten indiscriminately, because it is likely that this one chess piece that seems to be able to be eaten will trigger a chain of changes in the whole game. You eat one of the opponent's soldiers, and the opponent's cannon will come up; You snort the opponent's cannon again, and the opponent's horse follows; You fight the other horse, and the other car's is close behind; And then spell ...... What are you fighting? The main force of the people is here to kill your old handsome veteran, okay?

Therefore, Zhuge Liang and Zhou Yu belong to a state where no one dares to act rashly, but Lu Ren has reaped a lot of benefits from this situation between the two sides. Didn't Zhuge Liang agree to Lu Ren's request before, and recruited a lot of labor to transfer to Lu Ren to build the Shaogui Railway Line? Zhou Yu also immediately sent someone over and asked Lu Ren if there was anything he needed help with.

Lu Ren was also not polite, and said that you should also recruit some people to come over to help, and the wages and rations that should be given will not be missing from you. In addition, I have more than a dozen steam-powered ships here, you can ask Sun Quan if you want them. The news came back to Sun Quan's ears, and Sun Quan bought it without saying a word.

Previously, Lu Ren borrowed Sun Shangxiang's hand to send thirty-two semi-retired ships equipped with steam power to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan used them very well. Think about it, this kind of ship can run fast without sails, and it has a huge advantage over traditional sailing ships when driving against the wind, Sun Quan Group has always been proud of its powerful sailing army, how can it not understand the benefits of this kind of boat? In the past, I wanted to get it from Lu Ren's hands but couldn't get it, but now that Lu Ren took the initiative to send some over, Sun Quan will not need to blame!

But as soon as you use it seriously, a bunch of problems will pop up. First of all, Sun Quan got these ships, of course, he would think about making cottages, but when Sun Quan gathered the shipbuilders in Jiangdong and asked the craftsmen to carry out cottages, these craftsmen basically stuck out their tongues...... Which is so easy to copycat? Do you know how many hundred of Lu Ren's steam-powered ships were actually ahead of their time? Its units are calculated based on the standard of 100 years, is it good? The structure of the ship and the structure of the steam engine were obtained by virtue of Sun Quan's basic industry at that time? To put it mildly, there is no so-called industrial base in Sun Quan's territory to speak of! After all, what era was that?

So, Sun Quan wanted to try to ask Lu Ren to secondment the relevant craftsmen, on the pretext that the ship was broken and he didn't know how to repair it. But Lu Ren is not two hundred and five, how can he be like this? Moreover, Lu Ren had long expected that such a situation would happen, and he had been waiting for Sun Quan here. So when Sun Quan's envoy came, Lu Ren's response was that you despise the social status of the craftsmen too much, and my craftsmen here will be looked down upon by your people when they come to you, and I don't want my precious craftsmen here to be despised by your white eyes and cold eyes when they come to you.

So there are two ways for your ship to break down, one is to send it back to Yizhou, and I will repair it for you in exchange for money; Another way is that you, Sun Quan, send someone over to learn technology, we don't hide our secrets, if you are willing to learn, I am willing to teach...... Don't think that Lu Ren is making a fool, Lu Ren will not teach anything that is really advanced.

Didn't you say before that the ships sent by Lu Ren were all semi-retired ships? These ships are all early old models, from the original military has changed to civilian, and if it is changed to civilian, there are naturally many things that must be made public, and it is no secret in Yizhou, you Sun Quan want to learn just send someone to learn these civilian things.

However, Lu Ren had a deeper intention, that is, he began to knife the scholar class at that time by taking advantage of the impact that this kind of thing might bring. After all, Lu Ren is a guy with some resentful thoughts, and after reading so much information, he has a deep dislike for those noble people who always think about privilege. And this kind of thing that Lu Ren is doing now...... It is obviously unrealistic to say that it is intended to trigger an industrial revolution. However, it is still possible to take advantage of the factors generated in the context of certain times to sow some relevant seeds...... (To be continued.) )
